Startup entertainment label Blue Brown Records will debut a new K-Pop girl group some time in 2026.

Founded by Myung Sang Woo, formerly a branding and creative director for K-Pop artists like ATEEZ, ENHYPEN, and ILLIT, Blue Brown Records aims to launch a fresh and exciting, novel girl group to the scene. The group is made up of at least 2 familiar faces, Choi Ji Hyun of JTBC's 'R U Next?' and Yoon Soo In of Mnet's 'Unpretty Rapstar: Hip-Hop Princess'. 

During their survival program days, Choi Ji Hyun was known for her powerful performance, while Yoon Soo In garnered attention as a multi-talented idol with both vocal and rap capabilities. 

Blue Brown Records is aiming to launch its first girl group in the first half of 2026.
